Thank you MaxD.
This is very helpful indeed. I am just going through trying to tabulate all the entries in his service papers and work out how he was invalided home, etc. Also trying to make a timeline and feeding in details from the 1/6th Black Watch Diary. So this info' is very useful.
Again, thanks for your all your help. Best regards

MaxD,
Thanks for taking the trouble to look at this! He is James L Barrie (Barry on some docs!). He started with 1/6th Black Watch, no.1499. After injuries etc, he was posted to 799 Coy Labour Corps, no.567044. Really appreciate your help. Best regards

World War One / WW1 army papers - abbreviations
« on: Wednesday 15 January 20 08:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, and wondering if someone could help please. I cannot find a definition of "RH" which appears on my Grandfathers army papers. Please see the attached snippet which also shows "RVC" and "RDC" on the lines below it. I am assuming "RDC" stands for Royal Defence Corps? It is particularly "RH" I'd like to confirm but if anyone has any ideas on either of the three I would be very grateful. Many thanks for your help

Good morning Stoney,
Thank you for your reply.   Have a great time in Norway!   No rush for reply, just when you have a moment, but certainly sounds as if you have some interesting info there!
All the best,
Andy

Hello Stoney,
Absolutely intrigued to see your picture of Beattie & Co!   Sorry, can't read that writing on the reverse but seems as if there are some very capable RootsChatters on to that!
I am very new to Roots Chat and my initial purpose was to try and find out more about my Beattie forbears.
My Grandmother was Janet Hounam Beattie, born 1899 and I have been very interested in Beattie & Co in particular as my Dad always has a story that my uncle, Elliott Barrie, who was apparently very artistic, went to work for his uncle who owned a sculptor business in Carlisle!
Being the first one of our family line that appears to have done any in-depth research, it has been so interesting as the history has unfolded, particularly as I trained as a bricklayer on leaving school and have been very interested to see the connection with John Laing Construction too.
Just wondering how you would recommend I could get more information, initially relating to Beattie & Co? I would really appreciate your advice.
Regards,   Andy

Good evening,
I am new to Roots Chat and hope to get some help from seasoned members so as to further my  family research!
I am very interested to see this subject as I am directly descended from the Beattie's of Hawick/Langholm/Carlisle!
My maternal grandmother was Janet Hounam Beattie, born 1899, a sister to David Johnstone Beattie and daughter of Joseph Edward Snr and Janet Davidson.
I have been fascinated in reading through this post and wondered if anyone could help me with some background to the family?
One thing that is always a bonus is family pictures and I wonder if anyone knows if any may survive or in which archives they may be held?
I would really appreciate some help and hope that I can expand what I know about this interesting family.
Many thanks!
